The moment happened near the end of the first quarter, on the 40-yard line. Eiler fumbled the ball on the first play, but on the second play, he started walking toward the end zone.

His quarterback helped him with every step.

“Basically, it feels good that I did something for him,” said quarterback Jesse Corrales.

They all did their part so Eiler could score a touchdown.

“To see that kid go 40 yards without his crutches, carrying that football, was nothing short of amazing,” Coach Libby said. "It was a pretty awesome moment.”

It was a dream come true for Eiler, who has challenges, but the moment was also a lesson for his parents.

“We were both moved during the whole thing,” said Eiler’s dad, Alex Buck. “The stands were standing up, cheering from both schools.”

Mary Beth Buck told News 8, it’s a moment they will never forget.

“For us, it's amazing,” she said. “It's a learning thing for us; that sometimes when you are in this situation, sometimes you feel like you might be alone, that there are families that struggle, but they are with us. They struggle with us and they celebrate with us.”
